Scott's plane has landed at NRT according to DL flight status. When I went to check on his NRT-SEA flight, I saw that his seat had been changed. To 3H. It looks like he's copped another op-up. Awfully glad to see that - now there's hope he'll be able to get some decent sleep tonight. He's due into Seattle about 7:30 tomorrow am ( Read more... )

Scott's made it to the Hilton in Singapore. I talked with him just before he went to bed (about 02:30 Friday, Singapore time). He said he got op upped on the NRT-SIN flight, a 777 with lie-flat seats, so he was able to be kind to his foot even if he didn't get a lot of deep sleep. 

He's there OK. Voice phones don't  work, but texts go through just fine. TY tilthouse for pushing Scott consistently out of Luddite stage about texting, he seems fine with that.

So, inspired by ckd 's list of places he overnighted in away from home during 2011, I'll post mine. Because it's ridiculously easy to do. There is one oddity, but I'll get to that.

Reno - 8 nights
St. Louis - 1 night
Evansville IN - 2 nights
St. Louis - 2 nights
OK City - 1 night
Gallup NM- 1 night
Lexington - 8 nights -- which has been home for a very long ( Read more... )

But I can't remember the name of it - Eternal Sunshine of the something Mind? Yes I know I could Google it, but it's not that important.

The point IS, I hit Post to LJ, and got asked if I wanted to restore from draft. I had no idea what had been autosaved, so I said yeah, sure. Well, I actually just clicked, but that was my thought. The draft said:

Hi Fb friends who aren't friends here (yet). I hadn't been posting much in LJ since being seduced to the Fb side of the intertubes, but I have several recent posts here which are F-locked. If you want to read them, friend me here, and I'll friend you back. Oddly enough, I started these posts before the recent Fb ghastliness, but that has made me ( Read more... )

The predicted area Low for tonight is 34°F, and we could easily be 5° colder out here by the Wild Animal Park. So I've put Plan A- back into effect. If it's not going to rain more, I can cover with plain cloth and hope for the best. If it's also going to rain  or... snow? no, really, that's not going to happen! Is it? (that would be good for a ( Read more... )

Made it back there last year by flying into BNA on Saturday. Not gonna happen this year. I may not even make Left Coast Crime, but am gonna push pretty hard to make that happen. Been a long while since I've been in Santa Fe ( Read more... )

Maru.

I was sooooooooooooooooo annoyed when I bubbled happily at my son about this wonderful set of videos I'd found, and he goes, "Oh, Maru? Yeah, those are great."  I glared big time. He looked guilty, as he should have. The glare of course meant, You knew about the greatest cat videos ever and you never dropped me a hint?

Latest one, with ( Read more... )

Mostly good news. She seems to be feeling well enough that she's getting picky about food. For a while, she was "if it's not People Tuna, it's not good enough," but I think we're past that one. She was so overwhelmed with various Cat Tunas/other fishy flavors with added People Tuna water that she finally got tired of the fish taste, and devoured ( Read more... )
